With the ban on Gokada and the likes, people will still buy Cars but may opt for lower year and model.
Attach below is Old Duty Rate, Surcharge and New Duty Rate excluding Shipping and Terminal Charges.

DelTel:
I think those ones were just overzealous. The duty paid for your vehicle is even more than okay.

Have been using this ES 350toks since 2019 January ,i change the complete engine after a break down at akure -owo high way and has to be towed back to akure .The problem started months after changing the engine

The main problem is that it fails to start after moving for a while and i have to look for a place to chill for like 40 to 2 hours or I take a cab home and come back to pick it up and it will works fine afterwards ,have diagnosed almost everywhere in akure here and have spend some money without finding a lasting solution close to 6 months now .


Please I need your help elders before this vehicle kill me ....

rexlims:
very lame excuse from FG.
my reasons are;
1. is it that before now these lecturers receive their stipends by hand?
2. is FG saying that these lectures teaching in other schools use different names and Ids?

Stop wasting your money. Go and do scan first. The ultrasound scan should be abdominopelvic scan or Ultrasound of the kidney, urethra and bladder. It may be UTI, kidney stone or growth in the wall of the bladder. Go do the scan asap

I'll like you to visit one hotel in Bayelsa. I bet you wouldn't wish to leave. But guess what, it was built by someone whose job is just to be called "first lady". No other job.

9ja used is coming down. Dollar is going nowhere. It's a global recession

Thank you everyone for your candid opinions on this.

Seeing that I don't stand a good chance with any of the listed cars above, I ask you good people:

With the same budget of 1.6m - 1.7m, can I get a good deal for either

2008/09 camry toyota
2008/09 corolla toyota

If yes, which do you recommend with the following indices:

-Fuel economy
-Availability of affordable parts
-Ruggedness

weyreypey:
They have quite a number of issues which I highlighted somewhere..

With this Coro economy, hold on to your cash don't make any purchase now.

When things bite harder, people will sell things lower to survive.

Adeoyem:
Thanks for your response.

I learnt the IS version from 2007 downwards have issues. That's why I am considering a higher year version

Adeoyem:
Thanks for your response.

No, not a first time user. I've once used a Lexus RX330

I'm considering these Indices:

Fuel economy
Availability and cost of spare parts
Little bit of luxury and ruggedness

Thanks

i have INPA as well but ISTA D is just better.i believe thats what BMW dealerships use as well but i could be wrong
I ll check if i still have the installation file for ISTA. if i do i can burn it on a DVD and send it to you if you really want it or you could just download it.it a big file tho. think it was 13gb or so then 20Gb after you unzip.
but you can do absolutely everything related with troubleshooting and repairs ISTA D. It even provides a step by step guide with pictures of how to remove, test and replace parts. if you are into coding modules and stuff like that you ll need ISTA P or you could just use NCS expert from your INPA installation.
You ll be surprised how easy it is to work on and fix BMWs if you have the right tools.

i dont know how familiar you are with BMWs generally or the E9x platform. but the 335i is my thrid BMW and my 3rd E90.
I bought it on IAAI and before the car even got here i already ordered the parts i knew were common failure points. The N54 engine itself is bulletproof, its just the accessories and other parts around it that fail. I plan to keep this car for a while so i was willing to put the money into it.
here are a list of things i did immediately i received the car
-changed valve cover gasket
-oil pan gasket
-all turbo seals and drain lines
-Front crankshaft seal
-Surprisingly the car came with index one injectors and were running just fine but i took all 6 out and put in refurbished index 12s and coded them to the DME with ISTA D
-Cleaned intake valves
-changed water pump and thermostat with brand new OEM ones
-changed all spark plugs
later this year i intend to change all my cooling hoses and coils. My car runs like its brand new and i have had it for almost a year and intend to keep it for many more. but i have been driving e90s for about 4 years.
I ll attach pictures of the car as i bought it on IAAI and when i took delivery.

You see the problem i have with people. They assume a faulty reasoning that something does not exist unless they have experienced it firsthand themselves. You don't realize people learn from the experiences of others.

yungboss:
Nice, how is the 535i, that's the LCI. I guess it's the twin scroll turbo...

Galactico4ever:
Guy pls how is the lexus 470? my broda wants to buy it 4rm a friend but he is worried about fuel economy and availability of spare parts

foolbuster:
You said it yourself no car is problem free. I am sure you'll also agree with me that some cars are more problem prone than others irrespective of how diligently they are maintained. BMW's and Benz from the early 2000 to date are right there in the list of such vehicles. I don't need to experience something to know if its true or false.

foolbuster:
why are you asking? Don't get me wrong I loved bmw's, when i was shopping for my first car all i had in mind was a BMW but after deep research.. .............

foolbuster:
I don't know how long you've owned the 335i but for a BMW i find the bolded hard to believe.
